Ignore any bad reviews below. This place was perfectly clean, with plenty of comfortable beds and a view that might beat any other in the area. Perched alone atop a tall hill and nicely secluded, this place is great for a group! We had a great weekend here and I'd gladly stay here again.

We loved the location and enjoyed visiting wineries, berry farms, Solvang, and Gaviota Beach during our long weekend. There were a few disappointments, the biggest of which being that the wifi did not work at all. The wifi info we were given was not even an option. This was a big issue because my sister uses wifi to monitor my niece while she's sleeping to make sure she doesn't fall off the bed or anything. We also found the coffee maker was extremely slow (took over an hour to make one pot) and filled with calcium deposits and the dishwasher makes dishes dirtier and is also filled with calcium deposits. Luckily, there's a Starbucks only 8 minutes from the house and we hand washed the dishes, but more dish towels would have been helpful. I do wish they mentioned these issues in the description, so we could have come more prepared. There were a few spiders and other bugs inside the house and there were wasps and bees outside, but they all leave you alone as long as you leave them alone.

The location was wonderful but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. One of the bedrooms smelled really gross and when we opened a cabinet we found a mouse nest and a dead mouse. It was so gross. There was no dishwasher detergent, no additional roll of paper towels, propane ran out in the middle of our BBQ, and we got ATTACked by a next of yellow jackets. My grandson received 10 stings and my sons were all stung multiple times as well as other grandchildren. The nest was right next to the front walkway. TurnKey was notified but they let the next group move in just hours later. When I suggested to them they get an exterminator out there and told them about the incident they were "sorry for the inconvenience"!!! I'll never rent from a TurnKey location again. We accidentally left a blanket draped over a window in one of the bedrooms. I notified TurnKey immediately and requested I go back and pick it up, I only live 5 miles away. They said they couldn't find it! Really? I guess the mice got it!

Perfect for Camping

If location is the most important aspect of your trip, then it doesn't get better than this. Secluded atop a hill just before the mountains, we watched the sun rise and set over the vineyards surrounded by so much wildlife! It's also only a ten minute drive to Solvang if you're looking for some more human interaction.

I say this is perfect for camping, because other than a roof over your head, this house did not have much to offer. AC didn't work, Wi-Fi didn't work, dishwasher didn't work, coffee maker didn't work. A mouse ate our bread and fruits the first night (we tucked it away after that). Beds and pillows are uncomfortable, and most windows are missing curtains and screens.

A few more considerations that might factor into your decision: very little kitchen counter space if you want to cook, tons of bees in the front walk up to the house (they never stung but we had someone in our party who is allergic and this would have been good to know beforehand), and the walls of the bathtub are super high! I saw someone mention this in another review but I didn't believe it until I saw it myself.

All this said, I would not rent this house for another work retreat as we used it for this time, but I might rent it again for a vacation stay. I would just take all of my camping gear.

Easy renting process. We rent almost a year prior to our visit. We received updates and information from the property manager through out that time.
